The tranquility of the restaurant was instantly broken, and Chen Xiao followed the sound and found that there was a situation on Lai Xingting's side.

I saw that Lai Xingting and Shi Long's faces were not very good-looking, facing the waiter next to them, their tone was not good, and from time to time they pointed to a bottle of pink sparkling wine on the table, as if they were theorizing.

Lai Xingting's cultivation was still good, so he just asked with a cold face, but Shi Long slapped the table regardless of the image, and scolded angrily: "I don't know? Since you don't know anything, let your manager come over, and I'll ask him face to face, what the hell is going on with this wine? ”

"What's wrong?"

Su Jin wrung her eyebrows, very disgusted by Shi Long's rude behavior in public.

Chen Xiao listened carefully, and said, "It seems that the sparkling wine is fake." ”

Sparkling wine, as the name suggests, is a kind of wine water with added carbonic acid and bubbling, in Western countries, most of this wine is used as an aperitif before meals, and the sparkling red wine in front of you is also a rare commodity in China, and the real products are basically imported from abroad.

However, from the current situation, it is not known whether the sparkling wine sold in this restaurant is real or fake.

The atmosphere was slightly tense, and the guests around turned their eyes to look at each other, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

The waiter couldn't stand the two guests, and was trembling, and the restaurant manager hurriedly walked over and said politely: "Sorry, is there anything wrong with the hospitality?" ”

Lai Xingting didn't speak, still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, but he was actually disdainful.

In order to please this nobleman, Shi Long took the initiative to take on the task of negotiation, pointed to the sparkling wine and said, "You are the manager, what's the matter with this bottle of wine?" My friend and I tasted it, and it didn't taste right at all, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? ”

In fact, he couldn't taste the truth at all, but Lai Xingting took a sip and was sure that it was a fake, which gave Shi Long the capital of a fox and a fake tiger.

The restaurant manager was sweating profusely, but in front of all the guests, he demolished his own signboard, and hurriedly defended: "Sir, is there any misunderstanding about this?" The sparkling wine was flown in directly from Italy, and there was no confusion. ”

"So you're saying we're squirting blood?"

Shi Long's face sank like water, he had made up his mind to befriend Lai Xingting, since the other party said it was fake, he had to help ask for an explanation with conviction.

The restaurant manager was full of scratches, but he still had to say good things with a smiling face, and said: "Sir, I can guarantee this wine with my personality, it is absolutely genuine, maybe there is really some misunderstanding in this, maybe your friend is wrong for a while......"

Shouldering a heavy responsibility and representing the image of his country, Lai Xingting wanted to calm things down and teach the other party a lesson, but when he heard the latter sentence, he was immediately furious!

This is not clear that he doesn't know how to taste wine, and slanders your restaurant!

"If you have any doubts about my assumptions, you can call your dealer here, and I will confront him face to face."

Lai Xingting was arrogant, and he had already decided not to give up, Shi Long saw this, and echoed: "If you can't contact anyone for a while, then take it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for a sampling investigation, and then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong, if it is really a problem with our judgment, I apologize to you, but if there is indeed a problem with this wine...... Hmph, I have a lot of acquaintances at the provincial radio station. ”

The restaurant manager looked embarrassed, not because he had a ghost in his heart, but there were not many of this kind of pure imported sparkling wine on the market, so he didn't know how many days it would take for the industrial and commercial bureau to identify.

Especially when I heard that Shi Long has a relationship with the provincial Taiwan, I am afraid that the media will expose it indiscriminately, and everything will be over!

Lai Xingting glanced at him and said coldly: "I have heard that there are many fakes in Huaxia Kingdom, it's really true, and you see, has this plate been carefully treated, and there are still greasy rings on the side of the plate, is the health condition of Yunjiang so bad?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao and Su Jin looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, this Lai Xingting really regards Xinjiapo as the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and he can arbitrarily accuse all kinds of wrongs in the country.

"This person is so good, after talking about our news system, he started talking about fakes and hygiene problems again, is he deliberately looking for faults?"

Xia Zijin muttered softly, even if the surname is meek, he really can't stand it.

Su Jin frowned and said softly: "Hey, you said that the wine is not fake, I think the manager seems to have scruples." ”

"Who knows, I haven't tasted it myself, and besides, even the top tasters have times when they go out of flavor."

Chen Xiao watched the stalemate of the scene, pondered for a moment, got up and walked over, provoking Su Jin's two daughters' eyes to widen, puzzled.

Lai Xingting saw that he had taken the top, and by the way, he also gave out the anger that he had just received from Chen Xiao, and was about to stop when he suddenly heard the voice that was extremely disgusting to him.

"Except for very good vintages, most sparkling wines are undated and don't have the same ageing potential as red wines, so it's best to keep them for three to five years."

Chen Xiao walked over, picked up the sparkling wine bottle and glanced at it, and smiled at the restaurant manager: "The production time of this wine should not be long, right?" ”

Seeing that he was talking to him, the manager seemed to be a connoisseur, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "The sparkling wine in our restaurant is basically not very old, and this bottle is the oldest vintage, made four years ago." ”

Lai Xingting was displeased, Shi Long also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Xiao, what do you want to say, don't intervene if you don't understand the situation?" ”

Chen Xiao turned a blind eye to this little white face, weighed the wine bottle, and said, "Mr. Lai, you said that this wine is fake, is it judged by the taste alone?" ”

"Of course, I don't dare to say how professional the wine tasting is, but there is no shortage of good wines." Lai Xingting smiled disdainfully, thinking that Chen Xiao was completely pretending, and said leisurely: "Maybe when I started tasting wine, Mr. Chen was still drinking soda, right?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't think it was wrong, after putting down the wine bottle, he twisted the cork, squinted his eyes and observed, and said: "I don't know much about wine, but I have also heard some knowledge, and I know that the longer the sparkling wine, because of carbon dioxide, the tightness of the cork will be stronger and thinner, if this wine is just opened, according to this cork, it should be genuine." ”

The method of judging by cork stoppers is also what he did in his previous life to investigate and deal with counterfeit wine.

"What?"

Shi Long was dumbfounded, confused by the expertise that had suddenly popped up.

Lai Xingting's heart suddenly tightened, and he was a little caught off guard, after all, what Chen Xiao said was undoubted, and he didn't pay attention to the cork just now, so he made a judgment based on the taste of the wine, and because Chen Xiao was holding back a breath of anger, he arbitrarily cursed a fake, which caused Shi Long's unrelenting investigation.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and the surrounding guests began to point fingers at him, Lai Xingting was intuitively embarrassed and argued: "What can a cork say about it, it is possible that this fake wine has been stored for four years, and I only bumped into it today." ”

Chen Xiao chuckled and did not fall, if the cork is brand new, it can be judged that it is a domestic fake, but this bottle of sparkling wine has been sealed for four years, if you insist on saying that it is fake, it can only be said that there is a problem with the production or preservation of the place of origin, how can you talk about fakes?

At this moment, a man suddenly walked over, stretched out his slender arm and picked up the tulip cup, put it on his nose and sniffed it, slowly sipping his mouth, his movements were smooth, indescribably elegant.

"The fresh flavor of the oak is very strong, and the bubbles are only revealed at the moment when the tip of the tongue bursts, which is genuine." The man shook the wine and said, "It's just that in recent years, many sparkling wines in Italy have been mass-produced, so in order to save costs, they do not carry out secondary fermentation in the bottle, but concentrate on fermentation on sake lees, and some even directly inject carbon dioxide into the wine, so the flavor will naturally be a little different." ”

In an instant, the audience was silent, this is a veritable expert!

Lai Xingting Huo Ran raised his head, and when he saw the man, his face tightened and said, "Director Pei, are you ......here?"

Pei Yan looked at him and said, "Xingting, you may be used to drinking red wine, so you have a preconceived delusion, in the future, before investigating the situation, it is best to be cautious, otherwise it will only be you who will be embarrassed, understand?" ”

After that, completely ignoring Lai Xingting's flushed face, he looked at Chen Xiao and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, we meet again." ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "It's quite fateful, come here to eat?" ”

"Well, I didn't have dinner, so Lai Xingting invited me to join me, but at present, it seems that this meal is unpalatable."

Seeing Pei Yan and Chen Xiao talking familiarly, Lai Xingting immediately panicked, never expected that the powerful man he tried his best to curry favor would be polite to a small staff member of a radio station, and from the conversation, it was obvious that it had a lot to do with it!

Pei Yan looked at him again, and said indifferently: "You go back first, I can treat this incident as if it never happened, it's better not to have a next time, otherwise your family's business may be ruined in your hands, do you understand?" ”

Lai Xingting shuddered, afraid of bursting out, no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't dare to have the slightest courtesy in front of this noble giant in the political and business circles of Nanyang, if he really provoked the other party's dissatisfaction because of this matter, not only would he and his family be kicked out of this cooperation, but with the Pei family's strong energy in Nanyang, he could put his family in danger in every second!

"By the way, take this bottle of wine with you, go back and taste more, save an experience, don't make a mistake in the future, otherwise it won't just be as simple as losing face."

Chen Xiao said and laughed casually, which made Lai Xingting, who had just wanted to get up and run away, shake his cheeks, and with a bundle of narrow eyes around him, he was annoyed and embarrassed, and he seemed to leave the restaurant.

Shi Long looked at Chen Xiao and Pei Yan stupidly, and was shocked for a while, but in connection with Lai Xingting's timidity towards this man who suddenly appeared, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this person's origin was definitely above Lai Xingting, where did he dare to make an opinion, and he was still wondering how Chen Xiao had a relationship with such a big man, when he heard the teasing sound around him, he hurriedly took out the money to pay the bill, and left with mixed grief and anger.
